    [CQ] COLOR REGISTRATION 500ci

    Been working with this 500ci for several visits and decided to reach out for help..It's all about color registration on COPIES, not internal prints. ) See attached example )..Firmware is 13..New transfer belt by another tech. Been through ALL 400 series adjustments 429,467,464, etc..the internal registration chart is good. It ids off on adf and copies from the glass...The middle of pages is good. It's off onlyon top 3-4 inches and bottom 3-4 inches....Now to make matters more confusing, customers PRINT jobs do the same.. Only internal prints are good..You may have to enlarge attachment status page to dee what I'm fighting.. Any ideas??Picture 005.jpg

    So, the results of the color registration page are good, yet the copies and prints are not? =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      That is correct..The image I attached is a copy of the internal status page which was fine..Also while I was there they sent an 11 x 17 colored bluprint page and the color reg. was so far off on top and bottom , the colors were actually separated a half mill or so, but good in the middle. I know the taskalfa's pretty well, but this one is way too unusual. I even tried the adjustment screws behind the waste tone contaner. It made no difference good or bad.

          I had a different issue with a 250ci color registration related, check the transfer belt cleaning motor which also runs the bypass feed systems. This motor does not code out and I've had these motors fail and cause smearing that looks like registration issue, just pull the back cover and observe the motor it sould fire right up and turn. Goodluck!! Hope this helps.

            This may be similar to one I had. It turned out to be the fuser speed! It was too fast, therefore pulling the paper past the registration quicker than the registration roller speed, hence the misalignned colours on the trail edge. I noticed this more with A3 more than A4.
